Setting the Foundation for Learning Success: A Brief on Family Literacy
National Center for Families Learning
National Center for Families Learning (NCFL) has long been focused on eradicating poverty through education solutions for families. One significant step toward this goal is to provide holistic learning opportunities through high-quality family literacy programming. The need for transformational literacy solutions has never been greater. Currently only one-third of American children are proficient readers, and 43 million adults across the United States read at the lowest literacy levels. Limited literacy results in decreased educational attainment, employability, financial security, and health outcomes for families. NCFL's signature four-component family literacy model was specifically designed to address these needs and set the foundation for families who seek to improve their educational and economic opportunities and expand pathways for multigenerational learning. This brief clarifies NCFL's definition of family literacy, provides an overview of the four-component family literacy model, and highlights NCFL's extensive efforts to put that model into practice.
